Write out without quitting in Vim? I looked through the `vim` manual, and I could only find the commands for "write and quit" and "write (if edited) and quit". Is there a command for "write out without quitting", similar to `^o` in `nano`?

Use the `write` command:


:write


Which can be abbreviated:


:w


If you want to write to another file without changing the current file, supply a different filename to the `write` command:


:write newfile


If you want to write to another file and change to that file, use the `saveas` command:


:saveas newfile


Which can be abbreviated:


:s newfile
